Shiri Appleby: Cynthia

Quotes 

• [Howard is trying to break up with his robotic "girlfriend", Cynthia] 

  Howard : [finishing]  ... we can still be friends.

  [Batman groans and puts a hand over his eyes] 

  Cynthia : Friends...? *FRIENDS?*

  [she starts to vibrate and crackle] 

  Howard : Wrong thing to say?

  Batman : Is it ever the *right* thing?

• Cynthia : You don't like me anymore.

  Howard : I do, Cynthia. I just have to fix something in your command processor so you don't shove people around.

  Cynthia : But I am what you wanted me to be, Howard.

  Howard : I... I just didn't mean quite so intense. You're hurting people.

  Cynthia : We won't need other people. You're my only reason for being. I'd go to pieces without you.

  Howard : [pushing her away]  Cynthia. Cynthia! Keep your hands to your... Cynthia!

  Blade : [hearing the commotion outside]  Go, Howard.

• Nelson Nash : What's your name, doll?

  Cynthia : I don't know.

  Nelson Nash : First-day jitters, huh? Hill High can be friendly, if you've got the right friends.

  Cynthia : No, thanks. I'm only interested in him.

  Howard : Excuse me, Nelson. She's out of your league.

  Nelson Nash : Your friend got a name, Groote?

  Howard : Synth... thia. Gotta run.

  Nelson Nash : [to his friends]  No way a nimbus like Groote deserves a schway babe like that. I'm gonna have to put him in his place.

• Cynthia : We can be together forever.

  Howard : Forever's a long time. A real long time. And I'm kinda young.

  Cynthia : Which means we'll have even more time together.

  Howard : Cynthia, listen. We have to talk. The fact is, this relationship isn't working. You're way too possessive. It was great in the beginning, but now, I...

  Cynthia : You what?

  Howard : I wanna see other girls.

  [she starts to overload] 

  Howard : Oh, this isn't good.

  Blade : [seeing him come out]  Sounds like you really got her wound up.

  Howard : You don't know the half of it.
